Directions: Use the following questions and resources to learn more about your individual. Take careful notes; you may not simply cut and paste from the Internet into your notes.

This profile should provide basic background information on your individual and provide an overview of his/her stance on our main questions: where is the U.S. headed from here? what are the primary issues/concerns facing our nation? how would deal with these issues and concerns?

Questions to consider as you do your research;
  • How did the Civil Rights Movement change between 1965 and 1968? What new challenges presented themselves after the passage of the voting rights act?
  • Why were African Americans rioting in Los Angles in 1965? in other cities during 1966 and 1967?
  • How do the Panthers fit into the overall civil rights movement? What were their goals? What were their strategies?
  • What were the Panthers' views on violence?
  • How would Seale define equality and the role of the government making equality a reality for African Americans in the U.S. at the time?
